Cheap Flights to Hammam-Lif from HK$682

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Hammam-Lif. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hammam-Lif in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
